Well another good turn out last night with Westy paying his bi-annual visit and a passing visit from Old Man Ray tho sadly with no intentions of returning to racing and Marc Fairbairn also stopping in - still hoping to get back soon.
Usual races last night with Ian running Race Control again while my shocking luck continues. Returned to running the Losi after 2 months wasted trying to get the TC6 handling. The losi was flying leaving me a few seconds out in front on the first quali when 8 laps in the motor died for no apparent reason. Taking it apart and putting it back together no less than 3 times before it inexplicably decided to work again though with my pinion having disintegrated in the mean time.
Back out for a last quali round the slight increase in punch from having to go down a tooth on the pinion ruined the car handling and then a few laps into leg 1 final the belt snapped. Just when I think my luck can only change, it does, for the worse!!!
Anyway I’ll hopefully be back to fight again next week with either a new belt for the Losi or I guess I’ll have to rebuild the shocks on the TC6 with light oil rather than the toffee that seems to be in them and hope that cures it.
See you all next week
